Vector Calculus is a dual enrollment, one-semester course providing the successful student with four college semester credits and one-half Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) elective credit. This course provides an introduction to vector-valued functions, functions of several variables, partial differentiation, multiple integrals and vector analysis. Vectors play a role in nearly all areas of mathematics and its applications. More advanced physical applications of vectors include aerodynamics, electromagnetic theory, quantum theory and more recent fields such as computer graphics, image processing and robotics.
